MAC Espresso Eyeshadow — it’s the shade I use to fill in my brows.  I think I’ve gone through three pots over seven years!

I’ve never repurchased a color cosmetic product other than foundation – I have a lot of great products in my stash and I want to use them first!

– Make Up For Ever HD High Definition Primer in green
– MAC Prep + Prime Face Protect SPF 50
– Shu Uemura eye brow pencil
– Make Up For Ever Aqua eyeliner in black

All from Mac – Studio Finish concealor, Blot powder, clear brow gel, Retrospeck, Satin Taupe. I’ve repurchased all of these at least 5 times over the years. I wouldn’t count mascaras because of it’s short shelf life once opened.

Maybelline Lip Stain in feeling rosie and maybelline colorama ( i think this line is not available in the USA ) nail polish in berrie

Kristabelle Avatar

Rimmel lipstick in Dreamy- the perfect peachy nude for me, I’ve gone through about 4 of them so far.
L’oreal Double Extend Tubes mascara- I’ve tried a lot and it’s still my fave, I get a new one about every 3 weeks
And Maybelline concealer- the super cheap stick kind- best thing I’ve found for covering acne, super opaque and stays on forever.
I use my expensive stuff a lot less (who wants to waste a 20 dollar lip gloss just for work?) so I haven’t had to buy more yet.

lancome hypnose mascara, rosebud salve, dior brown liquid eyeliner, revlon’s cherries in the snow lipstick… a toss up between all of the above 🙂

Marcy Avatar

Mascara (any of the Maybelline Colossal Volume ones)… it’s the one product i use every single day regardless of what eyeshadow look i’m wearing.

Jan Avatar

Burt’s Bees Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil, Chapstick Lip Moisturizer SPF 15, and Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Lip Moisturizer SPF 15. Basically, lots of moisturizing lip balm.

kelly Avatar

Im pretty new to the eyeshadow scean. I bought espresso and didn’t really like it, and I had the brilliant idea of using it as a brow filler, and its perfect! One thing I always go back to is Dior mascara. I used Diorshow for years but just recently switched over to Extase. I love it and get compliments on it all the time, even my best friend didn’t believe that I wasn’t wearing false eyelashes until she saw me apply it, this stuff is amazing

Carrie Ann Avatar

Either Revlon Colorstay foundation or Origins Knot Free Finishing Rinse. I’ve used both products for several years now and they work so well, I keep repurchasing them. 🙂

heidi Avatar

If skincare counts then the clinique dramatically different moisturising lotion if not than Cover Girl pressed powder. You hit pan on these so quick.

Maureen Avatar

Neutrogena Healthy Defense SPF 50 moisturizer for sensitive skin, Yes To Blueberries makeup removing cloths, and concealers and foundations from Clinique.

Kristine C. Avatar

Other than my foundation,MAC’s lipglass in viva glam V and Oh Baby. Since I have already started hitting pan on some of the colors I know I will repurchase the UD Naked palette.

J12003 Avatar

I continue to buy Benefit’s Benetint and High Beam. I swear I have been using it since I was a teen and I continue to repurchase over and over again. I have been using these 2 products for years… and if they ever stopped making them, I would not be a happy camper!

Mariella Avatar

Pur Minerals mineral powder 4-in-one foundation. It’s the only thing I’ve actually used up! Mac Pro Longwear concealer will be next…I can tell by looking at the container!

Jill Avatar

Christian Dior Diorshow Mascara (original formula) and Smashbox Baby Pout lip gloss. I go through that lip gloss like crazy–it’s just my go-to color that kind of goes with everything.

SJean Avatar

Urban Decay Primer Potion and the Urban Decay 24/7 Liners, I have most of them! And I’m SO happy they finally put the UDPP in a friggin tube! I was one of those people who would saw the curvy bottle in half to pot the rest inside… what a mess. 😛

Yazmin Avatar

I dont think i have repurchased alot of items, even for foundation, as i always try a new one once the old one has finished, but i think the foundation i will be buying over and over again from now is the studio fix fluid. i think for products not foundation/powder ive only used up a product once max and bought it again so i cant really say on that either. Mac brush cleanser comes to mind though as im on my 3rd bottle with a back up stored away.

Nora Avatar

MAC Skinfinish Natural. Holy grail face powder, it covers so well and isn’t chalky or drying at all. I always think I’m going to change and try something new but then I come right back to it, it’s really amazing stuff.

Angila Tovar Avatar

I would have to say Loreals Voluminous mascara, and Telescopic mascara! I always try new mascara’s and it’s inevitable that I end going back to those two again, and again!

Lucy S Avatar

Chanel Rouge Noir nail varnish, I’m on my 6th in 3 years and I need a new one soon. And Next Coconut lip balm and 17 buff lip pencil

Raphaëlle Avatar

Most definitely MAC Viva Glam Cindy lipstick (such a shame they’re discontinuing it in august here in France), MUFE Smokey Lash mascara in Extra black along with Diorshow Blackout masacara.

Dara Avatar

Hmm this is hard because I have sooo much makeup and I never seem to hit pan on anything. I guess mine would be E.L.F. Clear Brow Gel.

PJ Avatar

BB lip shine in mauve– my first BB purchase way back when. Laura Mercier stickgloss in peony. Im loving that YSL scents their lipsticks with mango — right now they are my faves!

meme Avatar

I swear by Laura Mercier eye brow product in the pot (not the pencil) and use the Smashbox eyebrow brush (or a good knock off of the same). It stays put and the color ranges are great. It lasts forever both on the face and in the pot.

Sara Avatar

Dior Show mascara….at least 10!! I buy one every 3-4 months and I might try a different mascara in between but I always go back to this one. It’s the best for that fake lash look.

Lee Avatar

Rich Ground fluidine – I use it almost everyday.

Actually, tho’, it’s really my mascara, Max Factor 2000 Calorie in Auburn. It’s discontinued in the US tho’ so a few years ago I stocked up on ebay and bought over 40 tubes in bulk. I still have at least 20 tubes left.

Carrie L2 Avatar

Gah! If only I had thought to stock up in bulk. I’m down to my last two tubes of Max Factor mascara. I’ve tried others but never found anything else as great as Max Factor mascaras.

Donna Avatar

I don’t repurchase much, but I am on my fourth jar of Bobbi Brown’s Tinted Moisturizer. It is the best for dry skin that needs some “help”.

Maddy Avatar

Urban Decay Liquid Liner in Perversion, CoverGirl Last Blast Waterproof in Black Brown, EOS lip balm in Sweet Mint and Lemon SPF, EOS shaving cream in vanilla bliss, MAC ProLongwear concealer in NW20, Smashbox PhotoOp under eye brightener.

As you can tell, my makeup bag was stolen and I had to repurchase my favorites.

I’m still in the process of discovering what works for me so I’ve repurchased a few items a couple of times already buy not enough to have an HG item that would merit 3 or more purchases. However, the product I’ve purchased the most of is probably mascara. I’ve purchased two Maybelline Colossal mascaras (but I’ve since moved on) in the past and two L’Oreal Telescopic mascaras.

Mara Avatar

1. Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse Foundation #240 (on my 5th pan);
2. Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume (on my 6th tube); and
3. Neutrogena Makeup Remover (on my 8th bottle).

Chester Avatar

Oh, I should say that it’s Urban Decay primer potion. And waterproof mascara has been repurchased so often I can’t even tell you if I ever used something different.

CarrieG Avatar

Clinique blended face powder for sure! Other frequently repurchased products are: Mac Jest eyeshadow and i always need at least one Bath and Body works Liplicious so i always have a go to clear shimmery gloss to wear alone or over a bright lipstick!And for misc. beauty- nivea kiss of shimmer for a pale pink everyday lip and nivea kiss of milk and honey for extreme moisture. I always need Dove soap and a coconut scented shampoo and tresemme heat protectant spray hehe i have a lot of products Im loyal to!

Natalie Avatar

MAC Hue lipstick – it’s shocking how quick I get through it! I’d say 3-4 tubes in a year, at least. It’s my daily go-to love!

April Avatar

As far as actual beauty products go, I’ve repurchased Clinique Even Better foundation (in Creamwhip) 3 times since I started using it last year, and Too Faced Lash Injection mascara. However since some people are also mentioning lip balms, I’ve probably gone through about 30 tubes of Blistex medicated lip balm in the last 6 or 7 years. I can’t live without it.

That’s a really tough question. I have fallen in love with so many different products that it’s hard to choose just one. I would have to say Aveeno Positively Radiant Tinted Moisturizer is a must have for me. Also the Revlon Grow Luscious Plumping mascara in Blackest Black is amazing! Finally, I always go back to my Bonne Bell Blush n’ Go cream blush in Petal Pink. It’s a GREAT product and I think I have repurchased it about 4 times now.
